Challenges Facing Bosniak Politics at the Beginning of the XXI Century

Summary/Abstract: This political essay assesses the key challenges faced by Bosniak political actors at the beginning of the XXI century. These problems include both the fragmentation and moral crisis of Bosniak political elites and the radicalization of their own political position; their attitudes towards Belgrade and Zagreb as the centers of the Serbian and Croatian nations; the “parochialization” of political consciousness; the lack of a proactive political attitude amidst the populace and finally the political primacy of identity at the expense of economic and development issues. These are some of the challenges which this paper analyzes and which, according to the author, will influence the character and profile of Bosniak politics in the coming decades. In facing each of these challenges, the author also offers possible solutions that encourage the development of Bosnia and Herzegovina as a state, enhancing its democratic and plural character.
